The Native Plant Course

I appreciate receiving the native plants reference guide. It helps me choose which native plants to include in my in-ground and raised garden beds. I believe in supporting pollinators.

This is a very practical, fantastic course. It really opened my eyes how varied the potential is for a kitchen garden. Breaking groups up depending on our location was so beneficial and gave us the ability to ask detailed questions vs general ones. I'm so glad I did this course!

In Colorado, our garden season is brief and intense for most people with home gardens. I encourage the use of native plants in and around the garden, and in other landscape flower beds. The pollination potential is essential to support a home garden, especially with our growing season. Terrific class!!!

This review didn't post—but the three positive ones did. Apologies if I'm posting twice. I love Gardenary's kitchen garden classes, but I don't think this was a good course—I felt it was misleading since there were several non-natives used/recommended in the video content and the PDFs (like butterfly bush and the non-native barberry). The one PDF even showed a picture of what looked like a non-native honeysuckle. I think the problem was that there was no distinction between a North American holly, for example, and an Asian holly and that scientific plant names including the genus AND the species name weren't used to clarify. I'm not sure this content was thoroughly researched or thought out. Again—I love other Gardenary courses, but the knowledge about native plants wasn’t here, so I don't recommend it. I recommend Kitchen Garden Academy, Herb Garden Guide, and Salad Garden School.

I've learned a ton from this course and can't wait to apply it my garden.
